"Did you hear, sir," said Joe, "that the coastguard is off to the Goose-pot? There's a vessel ashore there, they say. I met them on the road with the rocket-cart." "How far off is that, Joe?"

I came down to say, that if Mr. Turner didn't mind, I wish he would go up and see her." "Of course instantly," said Turner, and moved to follow Winnie.
